The Duck house is a lovely place to stay, clean, quiet. The single bedroom was very small and the outside steps to the flat were a little daunting at first as we are both elderly. I hadn't noticed it was on the first floor when I booked it. The flat was very clean and the lounge diner comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. The flat is within walking distance of a main line railway with a very regular frequent train service which was very helpful, saved takeing the car every day we went out

An excellent place to stay. Central location for Dorset and good bus and train connections. Alison was extremely helpful but we never saw any ducks!!
